Hey, I am completely on board with your program and would like to give you something in excess of the $5 you’re asking. However my concern is that it will be a hassle to pay. This is my view of taxes too. I’m happy to pay–I just don’t want to deal with the forms. So please make this easy to do! I’m delighted to pay, and hope you go on to 1453!

One of my favorite podcasts. You are an excellent speaker, which for me is key to a good podcast. I have given up listening to some podcasts because of the verbal mannerisms of the speaker, even when the content was good.

Thank you all for your support.
@ H.E. Baber – I wrote to Byzantium Novum a while back offering to do just that. If you know those who run the website and could get the podcast listed as a resource then I’d be happy to plug it on a future podcast. If they have a specific message they’d like known just let me know.

Count me in for a donation as well. I’m loving the content and structure so far, as well as the promise of a review of the empire at the end of every century: something that I felt the History of Rome didn’t do often enough (three times in something like a thousand years!)

@mp Another listener posted this: “If anyone is having trouble getting it to show correctly in iTunes or has an annoying case of ocd like me then to get it in the correct spot in iTunes you need to edit the metadata.

To edit the metadata you need a program like mp3Tag, install it and open the folder with your downloaded podcast. In mp3Tag you need to right click on the file to change and select extended tags then you’ll need to add a few fields.

The fields needed are PODCAST with a value of 1, and PODCASTURL with a value of http://www.thetvcritic.org/historypodcasts/feed.xml. iTunes uses the PODCAST field to specify what section it belongs in (ie Music, Podcasts, iTunesU), it uses the PODCASTURL for grouping. You can also add a DATE field with todays date in yyyy/mm/dd format, and a track number which will put the file in the correct order.

After that add the file to your iTunes library and it should show up in the same section as the rest of the episodes.”
